Median infarct volume was 0 ml. Median time from index event onset to dabigatran initiation was 2 days, and median baseline NIHSS was 1. Pre-treatment HT was present in seven patients. No patients developed symptomatic HT. On the day 7 CT scan, HT was present in six patients (one progressing from baseline hemorrhagic infarction type 1). Infarct volume was a predictor of incident HT (odds ratio = 1.063 [1.020\u20131.107], <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.003). All six (100%) patients with new\/progressive HT were functionally independent (modified Rankin Scale (mRS) = 0\u20132) at 30 days, which was similar to those without HT (90%, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.422).
